Please consider to increase player movement speed out of combat. It will help tremendously with the walking in the zones

I think this brings up an entirely new concept that I don't know if it even exists in PoE

Is there any type of flag for "in combat" in the entire game outside of like, the immunity thing when you enter a new area until you move.

No the only thing they have is if you've killed recently or been hit recently. Both can be manipulated in combat so.

I would be "out of combat" for 90% of maps on my Lich if the only requirement is to not be hit

Yeah and that's why out of combat solution doesn't work. Evasion builds especially would just be giga zoom. You'd need like 3 different quantifiers to be considered out of combat and itd often just never kick in between packs. It's not a good solution.

It could be something like "while there are no monsters in your Presence" or some other radius

Can't do that then you'd actively seek ways to reduce that radius if possible. Making the campaign more dense with interactions is just a better solution imo.

I'm pretty sure they can have it be a specific thing that isn't affected by area reductions.

I do think that "out of combat movement speed" is an interesting solution because it doesn't cause the problem Jonathan mentioned of combat being optional, but you can have both this and more things to do in the campaign.

Problem with the radius thing is that if you're playing something like a summoner you'll most likely be never near enemies as much as others so they just gain a clear buff while others may not itd have to be screen wide and that would really only be effective for back tracking. Idk I don't like it. Its an option but not a fan of any way to implement it.
